The Armenian national rugby union team began playing in the European Nations Cup in 2004.

[1] The team had been unexpectedly strong due to the large Armenian diaspora in France (as well as other traditionally strong rugby nations).

So the team has drawn many players, coaches, and trainers from this experienced pool.

The team was undefeated since debuting in European competition in 2004 until 1 October 2006, when they lost to Switzerland 16–29 in Vienne (France).

Prior to that loss they had won ten tests in a row progressing up the FIRA-AER divisions until reaching Division 3A in the European Nations Cup tournament.
